Developer Schnitzer West, who earlier this month converted their Equinox condo development in Eastlake to apartments have just announced they are auctioning units in their two other Seattle properties - The Gallery Condominium in Belltown and Brix Condominium on Capitol Hill.

  The auctions for both properties will be held on Sunday, September 27th at the Grand Hyatt Seattle (721 Pine Street). Brix goes first starting at 1:00 PM with Gallery starting later at 6:00 PM. The auctions will be conducted by Accelerated Marketing Partners, who previously handled the auction for the 1707 Boylston condo on Capitol Hill.

  There are 40 units available at Brix with the minimum bid starting at $165,000 for an open one bedroom. The Gallery has 43 units available with the minimum starting bid beginning from $195,000. Schnitzer clarified that there are more units available but are only offering 83 through the auction process. Presently, their focus is on the 83 auction units so no home will be available for purchase through normal channels until after the auction concludes.

  According to their press release:

"The auctions will be conducted mid stream of the properties’ sales campaigns, and are not intended to 'liquidate' the remaining inventory, but rather will establish market pricing for the projects."

montage logo

The Montage (website) is the newest condominium addition to the Pike/Pine corridor on Capitol Hill. The 6-story, 23-unit building is located at 1422 Boylston Avenue, just around the corner from the HoneyHole.

Montage includes a mix of open one-bedroom, one- and two-bedroom homes ranging in size from 661 to 1,121 square feet. Homes on the “Terrace” level have expansive decks that range up to 375 square feet, providing excellent outdoor living/entertainment space.

Home prices begin at $340,000 for one-bedrooms and range up to $690,000 for a two-bedroom penthouse unit.

Home features include:

  • Stainless steel Bosch and Kenmore Pro appliances, gas range
  • Cherry or walnut hardwoods and carpet flooring
  • Slab quartz and granite countertops
  • Gas fireplace
  • Parking & storage
  • Pet friendly
  • Roof top deck
  • BUILT Smart construction

Montage’s interior finishes appear above average for this price point on the Hill. Unlike larger developments, Montage does lack somewhat with common amenities. However, homeowners will be in the center of Capitol Hill’s urban flavor - restaurants, cafes, street side retail and boutique stores, pubs, a QFC a block away and close to major bus routes.

Buyers, sellers and real estate enthusiasts can now receive up-to-date sold property information via email. John L. Scott Real Estate, one of the first companies to publish MLS sold property data, has added a sold email feature.

Users can now easily keep track of Seattle’s housing activity. Whether you’re a buyer or seller you can sign-up to receive notification when a property has closed and at what price it sold for. Since the information comes directly from the NWMLS it’s the most up-to-date available.

Sold email

To utilize the feature, sign up for a John L Scott’s Property Tracker account and create a search using the Interactive Map search option.

John L. Scott Real Estate Chairman and CEO, J. Lennox Scott, announced the company’s purchase of Real Tech LLC, a web-based technology solutions company. 

 

Real Tech has been John L. Scott’s technology partner collectively for five years and has been responsible for providing the development behind some of John L. Scott’s most notable web-related achievements, including the launch of Microsoft Virtual Earth, Neighborhood Wizard with Microsoft’s polygon drawing tool, and the integration of comparable sold home information with Microsoft’s interactive mapping system. 

Real Tech’s nine team members will now operate within John L. Scott’s marketing and eStrategies department which is headed by Pat Giles, Vice President of Marketing and eStrategies.

Interestingly, Real Tech is also the website vendor for Coldwell Banker Bain in the Seattle area.  No word on whether CBBain is a co-owner or not, and if not, what impact it will have on the CBBain website.  Haven't heard anything from CBBain agents so it probably won't have much of an effect.
